Tuesday Without Mommy

I have so much to do. I’ve been accepted into the Health Unit Coordinator program at our local technical college and now I must complete some informational sessions and online webinars before registration day in April. I’m going to attend classes in the evenings and some online, so I imagine they are using a combination of in-person meetings and online media to get these pre-admission things out of the way.

Once I complete this year long program (beginning this fall) I will then be working towards an Associates Degree/Bachelors Degree combo. I’ll be in school for at least 3-4 years depending on how heavy my work load is. This depends on what I can handle while still working part-time and being a mom of two. I’m starting to wonder what I’m getting myself into, but I am super excited to finish my degree.

I took a lot of detours throughout my life. I wouldn’t change a thing because this path has led me to being married to a wonderful guy and having two adorable sons, but I sometimes kick myself for not completing my education a decade ago. I’m only slightly worried about juggling it all. I’m definitely not Super Woman.

This morning my husband is off work and he has generously offered to hang out with the children while I get things done. I’m finally using a gift certificate for a massage that I’ve had for a few months, and then I’m going to spend some quiet time at the library, reading and completing some online things I’ve had on the back burner for over a week.

I think Doug feels guilty for leaving me last weekend. I’m milking it for all it’s worth.

I’m going to have some free time today! I can hardly contain my excitement! I hope the boys can survive a Tuesday without Mommy!
